Spatial Poems: Opening Reception
May 23 | 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm
MASS MoCA is pleased to present Spatial Poems, a communal exhibition in three concurrent parts developed by CEI Fellow Marissa Del Toro in collaboration with guest curators Ninabah Winton and Jamillah Hinson. The exhibition features the work of artists Cecilia Vicuña, Lola Ayisha Ogbara, and Sam Frésquez. Cecilia Vicuña’s ‘precarios’ – a series of multidisciplinary works composed in part of sculptures made out of debris and in part collective rituals of dissonant sound serve as the overarching conceptual framework for the three interrelated projects, with curators and artists responding to the many themes Vicuña’s works evoke. The artists and artworks explore ephemerality, memory, and cyclical repetition through a range of materials and compositional approaches.
Together, the exhibitions can be understood as a score or spatial poem, created by curators and artists working in a euphonious rhythm. Spatial Poems inspires a dialogue on care, social relations, and the organization of new forms of being and processes as an act of refusal to the current precaritization of the art world. Join the In Conversation with Artists and Curators on May 23 at 4:00 pm followed by this opening reception
